Medical Xpress / Potential therapeutic strategy for Alzheimer's disease improves efficiency of learning and recall
Researchers have found evidence that a therapeutic strategy which makes the brain work more efficiently to learn and recall memories may in fact help to target compromised brain activity in Alzheimer's disease. The study ...
Medical Xpress / Childhood trauma tied to tough depression cases
People who have experienced adverse childhood experiences are at increased risk of developing depression later in life that is difficult to treat. This is shown in a new twin study from Karolinska Institutet based on Swedish ...
Tech Xplore / 'No pumps, no batteries needed': Wearable semiconductor fabric monitors health through sweat
A research team led by Prof. Kim Bong-hoon from the Department of Robotics and Mechatronics Engineering at the Daegu Gyeongbuk Institute of Science and Technology has developed a semiconductor fiber-based wearable sweat sensor ...
Phys.org / Goose poop could fuel a circular agriculture strategy, research shows
The telltale V-formations of migrating Canada geese each spring are usually welcome harbingers of warmer weather. They are also a visible warning that your chances of stepping on something unpleasant in a local park, sports ...
Tech Xplore / Overlooked turbulence is battering giant turbines in ways current controls still fail to catch
A new method provides a more realistic description of loads on large-scale wind turbines than was previously possible. A team of researchers has developed a more accurate mathematical model of wind fluctuations across the ...
Medical Xpress / Fining hospitals for medical misogyny won't help women, it will hurt them
Hospitals that score poorly on feedback from female patients could soon see their budget cut under a plan unveiled in April by Wes Streeting, the UK's health secretary. Branded "patient power payments," the scheme would tie ...
Phys.org / How changing ice conditions impact Great Lakes communities
A research collaboration, including a team of students from the University of Michigan, has published a new report that dives into an understudied aspect on changing ice cover on the Great Lakes. Namely, how do residents, ...
Phys.org / Adding water sources boosted reproducing males in wild asses, raising genetic diversity
Relatively simple habitat management can influence population genetics, providing conservation managers with the opportunity to support genetic resilience not only through breeding programs or translocations, but also by ...
Medical Xpress / High-resolution brain atlas expands with 18 tasks across 11 repeatedly scanned volunteers
The Individual Brain Charting (IBC) project has released its fifth and largest update of high-resolution fMRI data, adding a new set of cognitive tasks to one of the most detailed brain-mapping datasets available today. The ...
Medical Xpress / How children in rural and urban areas experience different mental health struggles
A study in Pediatric Investigation found that rural and urban children and adolescents tend to experience different mental health issues, with those living in the country showing more emotional problems and those in the city ...
Phys.org / These three plant bacteria turn soy yogurt into a safer, creamier product while stripping out troublesome sugars
Researchers at DTU have found that a particular type of lactic acid bacteria displays considerable potential for producing plant-based yogurt alternatives. The bacteria can inhibit potentially harmful bacteria and break down ...
Medical Xpress / Chaotic heartbeat patterns track brain activity more clearly than conventional signals, researchers report
A team of researchers at Kyoto University have demonstrated that the chaotic component of heartbeat variability is uniquely sensitive to cognitive brain activity. Conventional heart rate variability, HRV, indices show no ...
